wel I know someone with a solid out of a fox for 75 bucks (drum to drum, so you'd have to put the disk and 5 lug in it, but hey, for 75 bucks....) however 04yellow cobra had claimed it. If he still wants it, then it's sold, and I"ll look for another one for ya....if he doesn't, it's yours if you want it.

Ummmm Austin......Any chance you can like use punctuation here so we can understand this and try and help? ;-)

Sorry to hear about the denial, but that doesn't necessarily mean that you can't get that IRS up and running and prepped for some pretty heavy duty use. The MACA has some of the fastest 6 speed, IRS Terminators in the country.

This is my setup and its holding up with 600/700. If your looking for more power than this then look into something a little stronger but I'm guessing this should be sufficient.

99 Housing w/ welded tubes.
Eaton posi w/ upgraded clutch paks
Strange 31 spline axles
LPW Ultimate cover w/ axle brace
Wild Ride double adjustable upper control arms

and don't forget to throw some 4.10s in there.

k thanks mike that would be awesome is the tubing in good condistion?

Tubing looks fine other than the usual surface rust. Like I said though, 04yellowcobra still has dibs on it since I promised it to him first, but if he doesn't want/need it anymore then it's all yours if you want it :beer:

sorry bout the punctuation dwight and i know irs can be strong my thing right now is cost. it seems that in the long run i build the irs im not happy i can only get maybe 2k for it but now i have no money invested in hardly anything and it just seems if im gonna fix it then im staying irs, but if i get a solid it seems to be cheaper now so im not spending extra money like for exhaust and stuff.

Just saw this. Mike the 87 now has a blown motor ... so I will NOT be looking to build a rear anytime soon. Just keep in mind the fox length rear even with 94-98 axles in it will still be 1.5" narrower than the 99+ axles. Just FYI.

Yeah I kinda figured as much, which is why I posted, but I wasn't willing to sell the rear to anyone else until you said you didn't want it anymore:beer:
